Hello, just found this forum and appreciate the wide range of expertise here.
I'm on a small non-profit board with bylaws stipulating minimum of 3 directors and maximum of 7. When we have 7 or fewer candidates they are acclaimed to the open Director positions. Unfortunately while all candidates meet the qualifications to run not all would have the support of the membership since there was no election.
Would it be more representative to employ majority voting as described in the Canada Business Corporations Act section 106 (3.4) whereby members vote for, or against, each candidate and only candidates with a favourable majority are elected? If more than 7 candidates have a favourable majority the 7 highest scoring candidates would be elected.
Are there any pitfalls to this method? Any other concerns or comments?
Thank you in advance!
